I know I'm like 2 years late, but I FINALLY got to listen to this all the way through. Went to FYE to cop Life Is Good and saw this there on sale, and since I'm a HUGE fan of Kanye's first 3 albums, I figured I'd pick it up. This thing is truly a masterpiece. I prefer Late Registration and College Dropout because some of the musical aspects of this are so abstract and different, and I'm into his old style big time, but I got mad respect for this album. The intro and Devil In A New Dress are easily the 2 best songs on the album for me. Especially the latter, that type of production is why I love Kanye albums/Kanye production (not sure if he necessarily produced that track, although you know if he didn't he got the producer to do exactly what he wanted with that beat). Lyrics are pretty ill, too. I miss that Kanye, with the soulful production and heavy sampling.

He said bold not impossible. I don't necessarily think Deron is going to win MVP, but I think he might be in that conversation. I guess I would make that mine. I've never been a fan of making a bunch of random predictions and hoping one sticks.

Lakers will win the ship. BOOM...feel free to quote me

I know you love believing the conspiracy stuff, and it's cool to think that 9/11 was an inside job, that there's an Illuminati, whatever pops up online...but again, I know for a fact these chips being created can do no more than what is being told by the company. The main guys that "run the show" are those designing the chips, and for what it's worth (and it should be worth a lot), I know one, personally. Let me put it to you this way: sometimes, I'm hired to create a website for a company, and I'm sometimes asked to manage it as well...just as the designers of this chip. I code the site from scratch, using Notepad, and I know EXACTLY what the site can be used for, what kind of information the database can store, etc...especially since I'm the one managing it after I design it. I don't need to explain how this relates. Who? Facebook, MySpace, ICQ, MSN, AIM...they have all stored information in a database, all asked personal questions, and all work the same way. The only people surprised are those who just started using the internet (or are inexperienced), and those who jump to conclusions when they read about it online. Every single thing on Facebook is optional, aside from basically the same information you have been asked to add when registering for an email years ago. On this very message board, I have your email address, your IP addresses, a hashed password, and optional information such as your first name, your age, your favorite team and player, your city (which I could get from your IP), and even posting tendencies, if I needed to know when you're online at home (home IP), if you go to school or not (and what college, by using your IP), and where you work and when you're there (again, by a third IP). So the government is going to track 7 billion people, every second, everywhere? They will do this on what, exactly? Don't you already believe they do this with cell phones? If so, do you have a cell phone? So...again, the government is going to track the tendencies of 7 billion people, all at once? Maybe this will create millions of jobs? They'll need people to do this tracking, you know.

If you translate the Bible in a way that makes you believe the beast is the government, and not Satan, then that's probably why you believe this. Many have been taught that Satan will provide the "mark of the beast" to those who accept him as God (as he'll resemble Him). I'm not going to attempt to figure that out. Some believe the mark of the beast had something to do with Hitler, connected somehow with Manson and the mark he had on his forehead, among other things. Some say social security cards are versions of the mark, allowing you to "buy and sell" and, basically, live life the way we all live it right now (which is in sin, since every person has broken a commandment at least once in their lifetimes). PositiveID has moved into the area concerning diabetics, and ways they can make managing blood sugars easier. It's one of their primary focuses. Again, I'm not going to elaborate when discussing that and the VeriChip, but I'm very sure you guys are digging into a bottomless pit.

I'm not going to go into much detail here, for legal reasons (and I'm not going to explain that, either), but you don't quite understand what the VeriChip was actually designed for, and why it was discontinued 2-3 years ago. It's also clear as day you're not understanding what PositiveID is doing. I usually don't give a shit about these topics, but I'm very much informed (and not just through internet posts and pages) when it comes to the two subjects above, especially PositiveID, and you're completely out of range when discussing the topic.
